Marvelous Retro Finds at Mid Century Madness - Adamstown, PA

 

  Mid-Century Madness is my favorite vendor in the Mad Hatter Antique Mall.

It's located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in Adamstown,

which is known as Antiques Capital, USA.

Their selection of fifties modern collectibles is unsurpassed! 

The displays are impeccably and imaginatively organized,

making a walk through the aisles a pleasant trip back in time.

It's a veritable Retro-Wonderland!

How about this assortment of chandeliers?

A great kiddie-size table & chair set in classic pink & black.

What a selection of vintage aprons & tablecloths!

I always love to look at vintage globes.

Even bathroom hampers & scales! (There's that pink & black again.)

Catherineholm & Dansk cookware.

from paint-by-number wall art to an antique majolica tray.

Cathrineholm

Cathrineholm is a brand of enamelware from Norway. I have to level with you. At first, I thought these pieces were designed by a woman named Catherine Holm. I was glad to learn that I'm among many who've made that mistake. :)

Initially producing agricultural equipment and wrought iron, Cathrineholm operated from 1907 to 1970. Its enamel kitchenware became known as very tasteful Scandinavian design. The well-loved lotus pattern is thanks to designer Grette Prytz Kittlesen.

These mid-century items are highly collectible. So many vibrant colors! It would be fun to have a piece or two to coordinate with your kitchen color scheme. I just love this retro look!
